After being met at their helicopter by airport Managing Director Matt Roach and Corporate Aviation Manager Chris Beer they were given a tour of the new facility and watched a multi-agency training exercise by the Police, Fire and Ambulance services.

The exercise was based upon a critical incident, of a hazardous materials spill, and showed all three services combining their efforts, equipment and training in order to safely rescue casualties from a building and from vehicles.
